Neurotrophins (NTs) are members of a neuronal growth factor protein family whose action is
mediated by the tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) receptor family receptors and the p75 …

The motivation for this review comes from the emerging complexity of the autonomic
innervation of the carotid body (CB) and its putative role in regulating chemoreceptor …

In addition to its role in neuronal survival, the brain neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been
shown to influence serotonin transmission and synaptic plasticity, events strongly implicated …

Newts have the extraordinary ability to fully regenerate lost or damaged cardiac, neural and
retinal tissues, and even amputated limbs. In contrast, mammals lack these broad …

Postganglionic sympathetic neurons and satellite glial cells are the two major cell types of
the peripheral sympathetic ganglia. Sympathetic neurons project to and provide neural …

Hypothyroidism is a condition that affects multiple systems, including the central nervous
system, causing, for example, cognitive deficits closely related to Alzheimer's disease. The …

Synaptic plasticity is defined as the ability of synapses to change their strength of
transmission. Plasticity of synaptic connections in the brain is a major focus of neuroscience …

It is well known that the neurotrophins nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived
neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are involved in learning and memory. Specialists of Zakusov …

Although cardiac dysautonomia is a distinctive feature of Chagas disease, its clinical and
functional significance is still being speculated. Neurotrophic factors are potentially involved; …

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) plays crucial roles in physiology and disease. Neuro-
effector communication and neuroplasticity of the PNS are poorly studied, since suitable …
